Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

The second aunt stopped sorting the sundries in her hands, shook her head slightly, and said, "No, Guangqi has not come back since he went to work with you this morning.

Maybe he went to look for his friend. Guangqi is already a grown-up, so there is no need for you to worry so much. He must have his reasons for doing this."

Liu Haizhong frowned and asked with some uneasiness in his heart: "He really didn't come back?"

The second aunt looked at Liu Haizhong's expression and comforted him, "Don't worry, the child has grown up and has his own life and ideas. Maybe he just went out to relax or deal with some things."

Liu Haizhong listened to what the second aunt said, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, you are right. Guangqi is so sensible, he must have something to do. I am overthinking it. By the way, where are those two bastards?"

The second aunt pointed outside the door and replied, "I don't know. He said he went out to do odd jobs and hasn't come back yet."

Liu Haizhong nodded and sighed, still feeling a little bit uneasy. He sat in a chair, thinking about what had happened recently, and suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and couldn't help frowning.

The second aunt noticed the discomfort in her bangs and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Liu Haizhong gently rubbed his chest and said with a wry smile: "Maybe I was in too much of a hurry just now and got a stitch in the side."

The second aunt looked at Liu Haizhong distressedly and suggested, "How about I pour you a cup of hot water?"

Liu Haizhong waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary, then slowly stood up and moved his body around, hoping to relieve the pain.

He took a deep breath and said to himself, "I'm getting older and my health is getting worse."

The second aunt looked at Liu Haizhong and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, time is not forgiving! But you should also pay more attention to your health and don't be too tired."

Liu Haizhong nodded, glanced at the second aunt, then walked towards the bedroom, intending to lie down and rest for a while.

He lay on his bed, closed his eyes, and prayed silently that everything would be alright.

"Okay, go and have a rest, the meal will be ready soon." Second Aunt turned and walked into the kitchen, busily preparing dinner.

An hour later, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. The family sat around the table, eating in silence.

However, Liu Haizhong was always worried about Liu Guangqi. He looked at the door from time to time, expecting his son to appear.

Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour went by in the blink of an eye.

Liu Haizhong's family had finished their meal, but Liu Guangqi had not returned yet.

At this moment, the uneasiness in Liu Haizhong's heart became stronger and stronger, tightly entwining his heart like a wildly growing vine.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, his brows deeply furrowed, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.

"Mother, Guangqi hasn't come back yet, I feel really uneasy. No, I have to go out and look for him." Liu Haizhong said as he picked up his coat and prepared to go out.

The second aunt hurriedly stopped him and anxiously advised: "Boss, where can you go to find him at this time of night? Guangqi is an adult, and maybe he was delayed by something. Don't make a fuss, just wait until tomorrow."

However, Liu Haizhong shook his head firmly and insisted on going to find his son.

"No! I was so nervous, I felt like something was going to happen. Guangqi never stayed out so late, I had to go to the place he often went to."

After saying that, he put on his coat and hurried out the door despite the second aunt's attempts to stop him.

Liu Haizhong first went to the homes of Liu Guangqi's good friends, knocking on the doors one by one to ask. "Xiao Zhang, is Guangqi here with you?" "Xiao Li, have you seen Guangqi today?"

However, all the answers he got were negative. Liu Haizhong felt even more depressed, and he went to the parks and bookstores that Liu Guangqi liked to go to, looking for his son.

The streets were exceptionally quiet at night, with only the sound of footsteps in the bangs echoing in the empty alleys.

As he walked, he called out Liu Guangqi's name, "Guangqi, where are you? Guangqi!" His voice was filled with anxiety and worry. However, the only response he got was the silence of the night.

After searching for a while without any results, Liu Haizhong leaned against the wall tiredly, feeling very disappointed.

With no other choice, Liu Haizhong had to drag his heavy steps back home. Seeing his distraught look, the second aunt said distressedly: "Master, don't worry too much, Guangqi will be fine."

Liu Haizhong sighed and nodded silently, but he was still worried about his son who had disappeared.

At this time, Liu Haizhong had already felt that something was not right. His brows were furrowed, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

However, he still didn't want to think of the worst and still firmly believed that Liu Guangqi was busy with something or was in love.

He thought to himself: Yes, he must be dating someone and is hanging out with his girlfriend now.

So, Liu Haizhong was completely convinced by himself. He tried hard to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, got up to wash, and then went back to the room to sleep.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was asleep, Liu Guangtian and the others didn't dare to make any noise.

After Liu Haizhong returned to the room, they quickly washed up and went to bed.

The courtyard is exceptionally quiet at night, with only the occasional chirping of insects, as if telling some unknown story.

The future of the Liu family is just like this dark night, full of unknowns and uncertainties.

As the night gradually fades away, a new day quietly arrives in the morning light. The soft sunlight shines into the house through the window, bringing a touch of warmth and hope.

However, for Liu Haizhong's family, this morning was full of anxiety and shock.

Liu Haizhong and the others also got up and prepared to go to work after breakfast as usual.

Liu Haizhong habitually called out, "Guangqi."

The voice echoed in the room, but no response was received. He frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart.

So Liu Haizhong came to Liu Guangqi's bed, reached into the quilt, and felt it was cold.

This discovery made his heart sink suddenly, which meant that Liu Guangqi might not have come back all night.

This scared Liu Haizhong. Although he had three sons, in his heart, only Liu Guangqi could be called a son and would be qualified to inherit the Liu family's property in the future.

But now his eldest son did not come home all night and did not tell any of them. This had never happened before, and Liu Haizhong's nerves were suddenly tense.

He sat down directly on Liu Guangqi's bed, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.
